Letters to the Editor
Missed the point
To the Editor:
In regards to Dr. Boss and the
Boardman Clinic, I think they
missed the point. This is not
personal. I sincerely hope Dr.
Boss and the clinic in Board-
man continue to serve this area
as well as they have for many
years to come. This is not about
North County vs. South Coun­
ty; of course north county
deserves the same quality
medical care south county
does. These are my questions:
Does a seemingly self-suf­
ficient clinic warrant such large
subsidies?
If you receive subsidies, are
you then obligated to open
your books up to district
auditors so they may look at the
entire financial situation? (I
understand Dr. Boss has been
forthcoming with some of the
information the Morrow Coun­
ty Health District has re­
quested, but not all.)
Do the district auditors have
enough information to decide
what amount of subsidies are
justified?
These are some facts to
consider:
Pioneer Memorial Hospital
and clinics are owned by the
Morrow County Health Dist­
rict. All profits and losses are
absorbed by the district. The
doctors and staff are all on
salary only.
The Boardman Clinic is own­
ed by Dr. Boss. All profits and
losses are absorbed by him per­
sonally. He then also receives
$130,000 in subsidies a year.
The district also maintains the
building, some of the equip­
ment and property taxes. Dr.
Boss is also requesting addi­
tional funds which the district
is to consider.
At a time when our child­
ren's education and so many
other public concerns are being
squeezed so tightly out of our
tax budget, I believe we are
obligated to ask questions
about all areas of our spending.
We are very fortunate to have
the doctors we do in this coun­
ty and high level of health care.
North Morrow County no
doubt needs and appreciates
Dr. Boss and the Boardman
Clinic. We owe them whatever
support we agree is justified
and needed.
This matter lies in the hands
of the Morrow County Health
District and medical board. I'm
sure they put out a great effort
to spend our tax dollars fairly
and wisely.
Sincerely,
(s) Cheryle (Shelly) Rietmann

COAST TO COAST
To the Editor:
The environmental assess­
ment for grazing permittees has
recently come out. This 150
page document (we can only
guess the cost) lists Delanne
Ferguson as the "responsible
official" and Don Crompton as
the Range Management Assis­
tant. I have some concerns over
their proposed grazing plan.
1. It basically cuts the
numbers and season in half for
the permittee. This would
financially force existing per­
mittees from the allotment.
2. Delanne Ferguson is
changing the Forest Service
policy of multiple use (if it is not
economically feasible for per­
mittees to use the grazing
allotment).
3. Much of the data used in
the environmental assessment
has been disputed by Oregon
State University scientists and
range specialists. These officials
have verified that the range
condition is good and numbers
need not be cut.
4. Delanne Ferguson states
that the cumulative effect of the
proposal would "have a min­
imal effect to the local econ­
om y".
In summary, I believe this is
a subversive attempt to remove
cattle from the Forest Service.
This proposal would be a pre­
cedent setting decision and the
accumulative effect of losing all
of the allotments in Heppner
District would be economical­
ly devastating. We are at the
end of a 10-12 year drought.
Yes, the ranges are stressed,
but they are in good shape.
Cattle prices are at an all-time
low.
If "m y " assessment is true
then Delanne Ferguson has
timed her study perfectly.
